CODE OF PRACTICE FOR

USE OF STRUCTURAL STEEL IN OVERHEAD
TRANSMISSION LINE TOWERS

( Second Revision )

0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 11 July 1977, after the draft finalized by the
Structural Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council and Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 This standaxd has been prepared with a view to establishing uniform
practice for design, fabrication, testing and inspection of overhead steel
transmission line towers. This part covers requirements in regard to
material, loads and permissible stresses. Provisions for fabrication, gal-
vanizing, inspection and packing will be covered in Part II whereas
testing of these towers will be covered in Part III of this standard.
0.3 This standard was first published in 1967 and was revised in 1973.
he following important modifications have been made in this revision:
a) Clause 7 relating to types of towers has been modified keeping in
view the practices being followed in the country and abroad.
b) Clause 8 relating to the 'broken wire conditions' have been
further elaborated both for single circuit and double circuit towers.
c) A table giving the values of allowable unit stresses for different
.!:... ratios of compression members, as stipulated in 10.1, has been
r
added.
d) Appendix A giving typical calculation of tower loading has been
revised. Method of calculation of wind loads on tower body has
been improved upon.
e) Numerical values of loads and stresses and formulae for calculat-
ing permissible stresses, etc, have been given both in SI and
metric units. It is proposed to change over to SI units completely
in the near future.

5.2 Longitudinal Load - The unbalanced pull due to broken conductors
in the case of supports with suspension strings, may be assumed as equal to
50 percent of the maximum working tension of the conductor.
5.2.1 For bundle conductors, the pull due to broken conductors in the
case of supports with suspension strings, may be assumed as equal to
25 percent of the maximum working tension of aU the subconductors in one
bUndle.
 5.2.1.1 For the ground wire broken condition, 100 percent ot th\
maximum working tension shall be considered for the purpose of design
of tower.
5.2.2 The unbalanced pull due to broken conductor or ground wire in
the case of tension strings, shall be equal to the component of the maximum
working tension of the conductor or the ground wire as the case may be,
in the longitudinal direction along with its components in the transverse
direction. This will be taken for the maximum as well as the minimum
angle of the deviation for which the tower is designed and the condition
which is most stringent for a member shall be adopted.
5.2.2.1 When there is a possibility of the tower being used with a '
longer span by reducing the angle of line deviation, the tower member
shall also be checked for longitudinal and transverse components arising
out of the reduced angle of line deviation.

5.3 Vertical Loads - The vertical load due to conductors and ground .-.'
wires shall be based on appropriate weight span. A provision of 1500 N
(150 kgf) may be made for the weight of a lineman with tools. These

loads are in addition to the vertical loads due to insulators and fittings
and dead weight of the structures. An additional erection load of 3 500 N f·.J, I~
(350 kgf) shall also be considered for the design of conductor's cross arm
only. The stringing procedure shall ensure that the above vertical loads
are not exceeded.
NOTE - The weight span is the horizontal distance between the lowest points of the
conductor, on the two spans adjacent to the tower. The lowest point is defined as the
point at which the tangent to the sag curve or to the sag curve produced, is horizontal.

5.4 Ice Loadings - If the transmission line is subjected to snow load, ice
loading for conductors and ground wires shall be assumed corresponding
to radial thickness of ice of 12 mm. The corresponding wind pressure
shall be assumed as 392 N/m2 (40 kgf/m3) on the projected area of
conductors and ground wire at the minimum temperature.
5.4.1 No ice loading shall be assumed for tower body.

6.1 In accordance with Rule 76( 1)( a) of the Indian Electricity Rules
1956, the factor of safety in the design of structural members of steel
transmission line towers, may be assumed as 2'0 under normal conditions
and 1'5 under broken-wire conditions.

6.2 In accordance with Rule 76(1)(c) of the Indian Electricity Rules

1956, the factors of safety of conductors and ground wires may he assumed
as specified in 6.2.1.

'.1 The selection of the most suitable types of tower for transmission lines
lepends on the actual terrain of the line and, therefore, it is not possible
o include specific rules in this standard. Experience has, however, shown
he following types of towers are generally suitable for most of the lines:

a) Tangent towers with sus- To be used on straight runs and
